Henry Ward Beecher
A good digestion is as truly obligatory as a good conscience pure blood is as truly a part of mankind as a pure faith and a well ordered skin is the first condition of that cleanliness which is next to Godliness.
Henry Ward Beecher
Wealth in activity--capital with all its friction--is far safer than invested wealth lying dead.
Henry Ward Beecher
We should live and labor in our time that what came to us as a seed may go to the next generation as blossom, and what came to us as blossom, may go to them as fruit. This is what we mean by progress.
